I'll have to get over to that stoned music thread soon.
For now I wanted to post some Energy usage info. It came up maybe a week or so ago and I finally got around to looking it up. Behold: lol
Keep in mind we were blooming March April May, and we have CFL veg lights on 24/0 all year. We have 7 watts CFLs in every socket of the house including three we don't have control over - security for the Townhome community. The 10 veg lights are 23 watts each and veg fan is about 30 watts. Then I have 1000w HPS and 400w MH, two fans 60-80 watt ea. and CO2, when blooming 12/12.
Xcel charges double rates over 500 kwhr during summer May-Sept Hence my next bloom will begin Oct.1st. Since we are Vegan we use Crockpots and VitaMix blenders to cook in, once a week I cook a sauteed veggie and Brownrice or Quinoa thing that takes 45 mins or we'll have pasta with a fresh raw blended marinara that is beyond yummy, we also make chick pea humus cooking in the crockpot then blend the fresh ingredients together. Hardly ever turn the oven on and we don't use the AC or a fan, keep the house open at night and closed first light. In some cases I use a wash cloth to keep myself cool, I'll spare you those details
...it works better anyway. lol
Besides blooming, this computer and the TV are probably our biggest power suckers or we'd have the bill around 150-200 kwhr
